AFC:
East
Miami 12-4 Marino is good. Unfortunately he knows it.
New England 8-8 a .500 team
Buffalo 8-8 the surprise of the year. They've got young talent.
New York 7-9 Somehow they always win their share of games.
Indianapolis 5-11 Irsay has effectively destroyed this team.
Central
Pittsburgh 9-7 by default
Houston 8-8 Warren Moon is going to start hitting people deep.
Cincinnati 6-10 They'll win two against Pittsburgh.
Cleveland 5-11 This city's sport franchises are laughable right now.
West
Seattle 11-5 Tough schedule but this is a good football team
Los Angeles 10-6 Will do better if Plunkett QB's all 16 games.
Denver 10-6 Orange Crush II. I hate John Elway.
Kansas City 7-9 Good team but is playing in the wrong division
San Diego 6-10 Average score 35 points for 40 points against.

Central
Detroit 9-7 Ready for another trip to the playoffs
Chicago 9-7 Payton will not repeat last year's performance.
Minnesota 6-10 Bud Grant coaching a team on artificial turf?
Tampa Bay 6-10 may be the big surprise--new coaching improves
Green Bay 4-12 This Pack ain't back.
West
San Francisco 12-4 They'll return to just 'great' this year.
Los Angeles 10-6 Will give the niners a run for their money
New Orleans 8-8 Bum Phillips has put a little life into the Saints.

Well, there they are. I'll be rooting for the 49ers, the Raiders, the Broncos,
and the Bills.
